I love lazy Sunday and my question is who doesn’t? CH and I enjoyed a lazy Sunday after our busy day in Paris and I decided to whip up some comfort food, pancakes. The idea sprung into my head while sleeping, as I literally woke up with the idea of Coconut Lime Pancakes (I actually wrote the idea of coconut lime pancakes down on a piece of paper, went to the bathroom, and then headed back to bed for a few more hours…weird, I know!)

I do not have a huge sweet tooth and I have to admit that I am not the biggest fan of pancakes – but when I woke up with the idea, I knew I had to create it. CH devoured a batch of nutella/chocolate pancakes, which I will be sharing soon, but this recipe took the prize for the day.

They were absolutely delicious. They were exactly what a perfect pancake should be, in my opinion, light, fluffy, with a hint of sweetness. These are literally the perfect spring/summer pancake. I wish I had make more to keep in the fridge for the week, which I will definitely be doing soon.

If you are looking for a summer touch to your pancakes, or just something to switch up the usual, give these a try.

Enjoy!
